Mayfield and the Jets have been linked for a while, as it seems to be a logical landing spot for the 2017 Heisman trophy winner. Given Mayfield’s talent and personality, he could be a star in New York.

However, there hasn’t been much from Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan or head coach Todd Bowles about their plans, making their opinion of Mayfield, or any other quarterback in this year’s draft, unclear.

UCLA’s Josh Rosen and USC’s Sam Darnold are considered the class’ top arms, but they are unlikely to be available by the time the Jets pick. With the Cleveland Browns, New York Giants and Denver Broncos needing a quarterback and picking ahead of the Jets, those two will likely be off the board.

The Jets are likely to stand pat at No. 6, making Mayfield a solid pick given the circumstances. New York could also elect to sign a quarterback in free agency and address other needs early in the first round.
